Best vintage or modern tonearms for Denon DP 80

Dear Lleall: I own the DP-80 and 75 that I use along other TTs and I use it in " naked fashion "/no-plinth.

As with any other TT any tonearm works great with if the cartridge is well matched to the tonearm. So, IMHO you don't have to worried about your TT but that your tonearm(s) choice be a good match for your cartridges.

Dynavector tonearms are good designs but not the best out there, I don't use it any more because I find out better tonearms.

If we look for vintage ones these ones ( I own all. ) could fulfil your cartridge needs, very good tonearms:

Sony PUA-237 , JVC UA-7045, Grace G-840FB, Lustre GST-801 or Audio Technica 1503 MK3 ( this is current model. ).

Of course that Denon ones are a good choice too.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Thanks, Raoul
I built up a small collection of the MM carts after reading the great thread here...

I have a chance to buy either a Sony PUA 1500L or the Sony PUA 7, any thoughts on which is better? The Sony PUA 7 comes pretty complete with cable too.
I already have the JVC/Victor 7045 which came with original cable. Would another Japanese tonearm from Sony be any different? Or should I spend the money on buying more headshells?

I haven't given any thought on buying a different tonearm cable as the one I have is a right angle DIN for my SME IV and wont fit the Victor.

Thanks in advance, everyone.

I can't believe I am responding here, but unless you want to use two tonearms, why bother with a second tonearm that is at best going to be about as good as the one you have? (Which isn't bad at all.)

Lewm, I do have room for 2 tonearms on the plinth.

One is already filled by the Victor and the other is available for one not yet determined.

IMO, and it's only my opinion based on little data, the tonearms under discussion here are all about the same in "quality". You would be better off, perhaps, to think what cartridge you will want to mount on your second tonearm, and pick the tonearm to match the cartridge. The DP80 won't care what tonearm you are using. I think Raul and I have already said this, if not here, perhaps on another thread. I have a deja vu feeling. I may disagree with Raul in his rating of the Lustre, Sony, and Victor tonearms as all being a bit superior to the Dynavector, but that's not a big deal either way. He does not care for the DV tonearms; I do.
